Elisabeth Rohm was born on April 28, 1973, in Dusseldorf, Germany, but grew up in Bedford, New York. The actress studied writing and European History at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y. She then landed a job as an assistant to an agent, which led to her first part in the Woody Allen film "Deconstructing Harry." Elisabeth also had major roles in the films "Push," "The 60s" and "Miss Congeniality 2 Armed and Fabulous." Her television credits include "Angel," "Law & Order" and "One Life To Live." She once was engaged to newsanchorman Dan Abrams, and she is an accomplished equestrian. Elisabeth divides her time between Los Angeles and New York where she is actively writing, singing and supporting neighborhood performers.
The daughter of an attorney father and writer mother, German-born Elisabeth Röhm spent the majority of her childhood and adolescence coming of age in New York. Röhm discovered an innate love of acting during her collegiate years (in the early '90s) and thereafter landed a regular role on the daytime drama One Life to Live. She graduated to fame, however, by virtue of two prime-time roles: Detective Kate Lockley on the supernatural drama series Angel (1999) and Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn on NBC's Law & Order. Big-screen roles include supporting turns in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005) and Aftermath (2008). Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
